Charlotte's Premier Center for NeuroStar® Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Welcome to TMS of the Carolinas, Charlotte's dedicated clinical center specializing in the treatment of mental health conditions using the FDA-approved NeuroStar® transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy. Located at 6135 Park S Dr Suite 510, Charlotte, NC 28210, we provide advanced, non-invasive treatment options for individuals seeking relief from depression and other qualifying conditions within our community.
NeuroStar® TMS is a breakthrough treatment designed for adults experiencing treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This condition occurs when standard antidepressant medications have not provided sufficient relief. Our Charlotte facility offers this cutting-edge therapy as a safe and effective alternative or complement to medication.
Unlike traditional antidepressant medications, which affect the entire brain systemically, NeuroStar® TMS is targeted. Using focused magnetic pulses, our specialized equipment gently stimulates specific areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation, helping to restore balance and promote improvement in depressive symptoms.
At TMS of the Carolinas in Charlotte, our experienced team is committed to providing personalized care. We understand that each individual's journey to wellness is unique. Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine if TMS is an appropriate treatment option for you. If recommended, our Charlotte-based clinicians will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.
The TMS procedure itself is typically well-tolerated and performed on an outpatient basis at our Charlotte location. During a session, you'll comfortably sit in a chair while the NeuroStar® device delivers gentle magnetic pulses to your scalp. Our Charlotte clinicians will monitor your comfort level throughout the session, which usually lasts about 20-40 minutes. There's no anesthesia, no sedation, and no risk of memory loss or cognitive impairment associated with the treatment itself.
We are dedicated to making the TMS process as comfortable and effective as possible for our Charlotte patients. Our team provides ongoing support and clear communication throughout your treatment journey at our Park S Drive location.
